    1. I´m from Colombia. I havent found bags with “respirator window” needed for air exchange. ¿What could be an alternative? Holes? open bags?…

    2. In the Incubation video, the bag is fill about 50% and the other 50% is like an air bubble. Is this air space necessary? the Big bags you use dont look like that…

     

    Thanks.

    Diana’s question (the forum appears to be having a problem showing the first message of each topic, we’re trying to fix it but for the meantime, we’ll re-post each new topic so all can see):

    Hi Diana,

    1. Yes, if you can’t find those bags easily, you could try a similar sized plastic bag with small holes (approx. 1cm) cut at regular intervals (every 10cm) all the way round.

    2. Good question – the big bags we use are covered in lots of micro-perforated holes for air exchange, but where the smaller ones only have the one filter patch they need the top half of the bag empty to enable good air exchange. So, this space is useful to stop overheating and to allow exchange unless you have lots of good micro-perforated holes. The are those also out there who have grown successfully in buckets. See:

    Hi Kaleb,

    The Unicorn bags we use in the video inside the course are the 3T bags, but we have also used some smaller 10T bags with good success. Although a bag sealer is useful if you’re sealing lots of bags, you can also just turn the tops over and then seal with paperclips or tape.

    Best wishes,

    Adam
